11-Year-Old's Kamala Harris Costume Gets VP Candidate's Stamp Of Approval

Erinn Harley-Lewis said seeing daughter Celeste emulate Harris speaks to the power of diverse representation in American politics.

Last week, Erinn Harley-Lewis of Vienna, Virginia, posted a short video of her daughter Celeste Harley dressed as Harris to Twitter.Wearing a blue blazer, pearl necklace and high heels, Celeste walks confidently down her family’s driveway as if it were a debate stage.

“I want to help all the American people,” she proclaims to her mother, who plays the role of reporter. “I want to deliver health care for all, equality and justice under the law.”

Harley-Lewis posted the adorable video to Twitter on Oct. 6, just one day before Harris debated Vice President Mike Pence.

Thank you for mentioning it so I didn't have to.

And the pearls. I suppose everyone here knows the pearls are a reminder of her sorority, whose members were known as "the twent pearls."

I don't know whether they continued to be called that after the first year, but either way, it is special.

... by Huffington Post and People - love it! *

Kamala Harris is so very cool and charismatic. If not for COVID, which limits travel and rallies, America would already know her and be wildly in love.



* Had to edit, skimmed the OP - Huffington Post published it!
